Re: Explaining email POP3/SMTP/IMAP etc
I use and encourage my clients to use port 25025 and the effect is, of course, the same as you opening port 27 for smtp and gets around some of the impositions set by many ISPs which, as can be seen here, can be easily circumvented by those running their own servers.
I'm not an Outlook user (in fact I don't think I have ever used it for my own accounts) but if you encourage people to use IMAP and make sure they subscribe to all remote folders then webmail users should be able to see sent and deleted mail in Outook (just make sure "save copy to sent" is configured in webmail!). But I do know that some older versions of Outlook are troublesome when it comes to IMAP and you have to jump through all sorts of unnecessary hoops to make it sync.
Oddly enough I never have any problems with either Outlook Express or Windows Mail when configured for either pop or imap, the key to their success is, I think, their simplicity. I'm trying to encourage Outlook users to migrate to Thunderbird/Lightning
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
